Olarewaju offered an interesting perspective on the controversy surrounding Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. According to Olarewaju, Obasa’s true “crime” wasn’t financial misconduct, but rather his boldness in pursuing his own political ambitions. This statement implies that Obasa’s pursuit of power and influence may have rattled some cages, leading to the allegations against him.

According to Olarewaju, “Speaker Obasa’s true ‘crime’ wasn’t financial misconduct, but rather his boldness in pursuing his own political aspirations, despite the APC’s alleged complicity in financial malfeasance.”

Olarewaju further emphasized that “Obasa will ultimately be silenced, relegated to being a floor member, and forced to keep his opinions hidden due to the authoritarian nature of APC Lagos, which he likened to a cult.”
